Hi and welcome to today's podcast this is Michael Beckio with brilliant perspectives

today's episode is from our current brilliant TV series Sacred Space in this new series, Graham guides us through his personal meditation space, sharing stories

of his creative process, collections of art, sculptures, poetry, and music that have been instrumental

in his walk with God

and about how he partners with the Lord in developing his books, talks,

and all the material he creates. This has been an exciting series so far. In this

particular excerpt Graham shares how to

disempower disappointment in your life circumstances. So the first thing I'm going to

talk about is a disappointment.

Because when we got these offices here,

this was two offices and there was a door about here.

And so what I wanted was to knock that whole wall down and have one big space.

But then we found that this section of wall here was load bearing, so we couldn't actually take that wall down.

So now all the thinking I had about this space was like, huh, can't do that.

Because it's like, I've got this obstruction here

that I can't do anything about.

And so I'm asking the Lord,, did I not choose the right office? You know, because you always like want to question yourself, right, because we're human.

So, um, because we're human. So, and I didn't feel that. I just felt, you know, peace.

And so that wall bothered me and I went back to a time. The Lord took me back to a time when I was like landscape gardening and I got this call from a guy who was a landowner and had his own estate and everything and

right there in front of his Manor house in the rear of Manor House, where his garden was for the children, everything, there

was an underground stream, and so all the ground was boggy and he couldn't grow grass on it, you know.

So he looked unsightly.
